Eternal Thief - #932 - 932 Prime One & Dream Shatter

Sky Stealer’s sudden appearance on the demon continent caused another upheaval worldwide. Because this time, he didn’t just steal from a person or household. He stole from millions of demons and an entire secret realm of three races. 

This causes another sensation, and every power under the Union has no choice but to reevaluate its view of the elusive thief again. 

Today, almost all the influential members of every race that live in the central continent gather together outside the Union Lord Palace to do something about the Sky Stealer before he goes to their continents next and empties them. 

At this moment, outside the Lord Chamber, in purple robes, Dream Shatter stood in front of a white door. His astute eyes were filled with uncertainty and a tingle of worry as he respectfully spoke, “I’m here as you requested, Prime One!” 

The next moment, the door started to open, revealing a light hall and Dream Shatter entered. 

Union Lord sat over a cushion and was completely expressionless, and a strange, suffocating aura was emitting from them. Furthermore, a strange yellow marking covered half of his face, shocking Dream Shatter. But he tactfully pretends not to see them. 

“Sit.” Union Lord beckoned to another empty cushion in front of him. 

“Thank you, your lordship.” Dream Shatter bowed slightly before he sat in front of Union Lord and suddenly felt he was sitting in front of a mountain that he couldn’t see the limit of. 

Union Lord suddenly smiled, seeing Dream Shatter’s nervous expression, and asked, “Are you still afraid of me? Even after achieving law comprehension?” 

‘How did he see through it?!’ Dream Shatter was secretly alarmed as he was clearly hiding his cultivation so no one knew he had a breakthrough, and he was pretty sure that no one could see through this skill. At least previously, the Union Leader couldn’t tell whether he was a late-stage law awareness or quasi-law comprehension realm!

Now, he could easily see through his sham and was in a law comprehension realm. It didn’t make sense. Or it simply means the Union Lord always knows, just doesn’t care about it, which was terrifying on its own. 

Dream Shatter tried his best to keep his emotions in check and hurriedly bowed, “How could I not be? You are my lord, and I’m your servant. I can’t imagine having the same standing as you.” 

“You are indeed a talent, Dream Shatter, probably one of the top hundred prodigies ever born in the Mortal Sky Heaven. But it also means you are only talented in the mortal sky heaven.” Union Lord meaningfully smiled. 

Dream Shatter’s eyes shimmered, “So, there are more heavens?” 

Union Lord chuckled, “There is space above the sky, the abyss below the earth, and heaven over heaven…mortal sky is but the most insignificant and weak one.” 

Dream Shatter’s heart raced when he heard those words and quickly asked, “How can one reach such?” 

“Heh, you’re being overly talkative today? You indeed have ambition and a vile greed to achieve that ambition by any means necessary. You have served me for thousands of years, helped me trick the union, backstab your master for me… 

“You have proven your loyalty more than once, so I’ll give you a chance to ascend into the paradise of cultivators. Tell me, do you have what it takes to grasp this chance?” Union Lord asked as an oppressive pressure locked on Dream Shatter, making him tremble in horror. 

Dream Shatter gritted his teeth and relaxed his mind, which was telling him to run away. He knew it was a test, and this chance was too tempting to miss. 

“I-I have!” He barely uttered. 

The pressure suddenly vanished, and Dream Shatter finally breathed usually. He was appalled as he didn’t know what kind of power could turn a law comprehension realm cultivator into a mortal. 

“Very good. Do you remember that dumb animal that attacked me a few years ago?” Union Lord said as his voice was filled with bloodlust. 

Dream Shatter’s heart trembled, “I-I was in close-door cultivation that time. But I received a report that an extremely powerful beast barged in and challenged you. You both fought for three days before you made it retreat!” 

Union Lord snorted, “That thing almost won, and if I hadn’t used a secret skill, things would’ve gone awry that day. From what I gathered from him, he seemed to be quite anxious and desperate to beat me. 

“It was like he was under someone’s order and can’t go against it. But after seeing that he was at a disadvantage against me, he fled and never returned. That beast alone could sweep through ten continents undefeated, and if there is someone who could make even him afraid…” He looked meaningfully at Dream Shatter. 

His heart sank as he quickly got what Union Lord was trying to imply, “What do you want me to do?” 

“I left a secret trick on that dumb thing last time that can help me keep track of his location. I want you to follow his track and scout for me. What we are about to do, I can’t have any anomaly or variable appearing. 

“Once we get rid of him and force behind him, I’m going to end that atrocious thief’s miserable life once and for all. Before they could break through, he had already killed the three fools of the devil, demon, and hunter race. He’s after something and won’t pay us heed, which will be his downfall. 

“Once I succeed, I’ll take you to heaven over heaven with me and provide you with a haven to cultivate new heights. Tell me, are you willing?” Union Lord’s words were filled with temptation. 

Dream Shatter couldn’t help but feel his blood boil from Union Lord’s words as if some mysterious charisma was mixed within them.

Although Dream Shatter knew how dangerous it would be, he didn’t want to clip his wings and remained in the mortal sky heaven now that he knew there was an even greater peak, and he was still just a frog at the bottom of the well. 

He was born talented and destined to be the strongest. How could he let this chance getaway? 

Furthermore, he knew as long as people like Pen and Sky Stealer were present, it was only a matter of time before he would have to fight for supremacy. So, why now take this risk sooner and escape this cage?

He firmly looked at Union Lord’s clam eyes and solemnly stated, “I’ll follow you to the end, Prime One!”
